Going Ape For Bad Monkey

Allison Lowe Huff on Apple TV’s Florida noir Bad Monkey, plus a Columbo Nonac pitch and a trivial Game Time!

Florida transplant Al Lowe Huff is back to talk about Bad Monkey, the Apple TV adaptation of Carl Hiassen’s Sunshine State-noir book, and the ways it lets Vince Vaughn’s…Vince Vaughn-ing find the apex of its expression. We also discussed the show’s great casting, realtor shade, meta voice-overs, and unwelcome references to True Detective before we went Around The Dial with Couples Therapy, My Life Is Murder, and the fifth season of Justified. Hallie had one more thing for us to consider in a Nonac pitch for a 1990s zombie Columbo, before The Gilded Age won and a Red Sock lost. Finally, we wedged in a sequel to a Trivial Pursuit-based Game Time, so load up your battered vintage cooler with an armload of popsicles and join us!
